Ahh, they look fine. Certainly no worse than 'Hatchet Face' in John Waters 'Crybaby' for instance.

A bunch of working class women - doing some good in the world. And most likely they have a good sense of humour too.

That feminist tattoo is like the neon colours on poisonous frogs - a stark warning to avoid all contact. Don't worry though, I'm sure the arrangement is mutually agreeable and the misandric skank welcomes the notion. All feminists (male and female) should have that retarded symbol carved into their forehead.

We've just finished watching the Waco miniseries. It was very well done, in terms of directing, acting, and writing, but it appears quite different from what was reported about it, at the time of the siege and afterwards. At least from what I remember.

Even though thru to the end of the last episode I was thinking "that's bullshit propaganda", based on what I knew about the events, I now think I'm going to need a bit more reading on the subject to get some perspective.

Probably means in the end it's achieved its goal.

I'd recommend it, if only for the above-mentioned strong points.

And yes, we've watched Chernobyl, and plan on watching it again soon. Just great.

Perps ran off but the cops arrived immediately, four men atacked them yet five have been arrested but not charged. (The attack happened a fortnight ago) No footage released even though London is the most surveilled city in the world and each London bus has several cameras. And now suddenly it's all Boris Johnson's fault for something he said about gay marriage back in 2001.

Anybody notice that Colon has jumped to the defence of that NSPCC that uploaded rubber-suit wank pictures to the webz, originally said to be from his workplace, but after an "investigation", was apparently taken somewhere else, and don't worry folks - it was "tomfoolery".

Oolon and his fellow creeps have always been a bit creepy in a paedo way.

I have a really strange problem with Tim Pool - apart from his habitual fence-sitting, I'm suffering from a Pavlovian response to seeing him on-screen. I watched a vid of someone swiping his beanie to reveal his shiny-as-fuck bald head. Holy fuck, that beanie works miracles! Without it, he looks old as fuck. Anyway, he went from 0 to 100 mega-hulks on the saltometer and totally spazzed out.

Now I'm fucked - I want to see that happen to him in every vid he makes...

"It is now accepted among historical scholars that in the decades before the Collapse, America suffered from the sicknesses of racism and "cultural identity." Everyone wanted to be seen as special. Every group had to be "equal" to or preferably better than its neighbors, and fought to protect its "special" rights. If anyone had something that someone else wanted, they were painted as racist, sexist, elitist or worse. This divisive "me first" attitude eventually tore the fabric of American culture apart and caused it to self-destruct in a fireball of competing ideologies, none of which truly recognized each other's validity. Diversity led inexorably to anarchy."

"The FemiNazis are the SanFran Integrated Hub's glamour Blitzkrieg, a violent, dolled-up trangender Wehrmacht on spike heels, bringing random hate crimes to the city streets and classic disco hits to the racially pure and sexually ambiguous.

Originally a risqué burlesque cabaret piece in SanFran S&M clubs fronted by a transvestite torch singer with a slightly unhealthy obsession with the imagery of the Third Reich, the FemiNazis' lewd mix of sinister sex and show tunes began to attract a mixed gender crowd of imitators and obsessive fans. As the audiences grew, so did the egos, and soon Adele Himmler and her Joy Division Chorus had gone from being harmless entertainers to dangerous demagogues encouraging midnight torch-lit rallies and tasteless Reich-themed dance parties. It didn't take long for the joke to turn sour and the victimization to start as Adele led ethnic purges of her crowds. At first she turned people out of the venue, arbitrarily selecting which group the rest of the crowd was to persecute that night, but soon her hateful jeering encouraged more violence and things quickly got nasty.

Most of the FemiNazis are posers attracted to the drug-fueled hedonism and party ... (cuts off)"

Replace spike heels with neon-coloured hair and Nazism with intersectionality and torch-lights with pussy hats and there you have it.

Lucien Greaves is currently doing the press tour promoting the 'Hail Satan' documentary.

I thought the following segment on the UK 'Good Morning Britain' TV show was interesting - mostly because of how it was framed and by what was not said more than what was.

From the looks of it none of the presenters were christian - and the issues raised were carefully interpreted to be a criticism of US christians - not of religion in general. I could see the grinding of teeth at times as the presenters tried to avoid engaging in any way that could be seen as controversial or which would challenge their own beliefs.

Just binge-watched "Chernobyl" - cannot recommend it highly enough. Very strong cast, almost every face you see is well-known, the production value looks through the roof (it's HBO) and the whole thing is a gritty warts-and-all account of the circumstances surrounding the Chernobyl disaster. Seriously folks, if you enjoy grim TV, you'll eat this up...

Best thing on TV for a long, long time.

Definitely going to watch it anyway, but here's an overlong Thuderfoot video on how the nuclear science in the movie is about on the level of Twin Peaks: The Return.

Finally watched it, and it is as good as advertised. I think Thunderfoot's criticism of the series is mostly wrongheaded, in that the secondary explosion scenarios were not presented as fact, but as something Soviet nuclear scientists were telling the Central Committee. Granted, these scientists were presented as competent and truth seeking, but also as not being certain as to what the worst case scenario was, as this was an entirely unprecedented situation. They also had to spur a corrupt, deeply sclerotic bureaucracy which was in full CYA mode into action. The series leaves it as an open question as to whether they were being knowingly alarmist to accomplish this, but it's certainly consistent with the overarching themes.

Back in the '80s, when being anti-nuclear power was the default left-wing position, the narrative of how close the Chernobyl disaster was to a full scale planetary emergency was useful, and hence had staying power. Heck, even the earlier 3-Mile Island disaster, which was orders of magnitude less serious, was sometimes presented as a near extinction level event. Thunderfoot's video is a good debunking of this narrative, which still exists, even if it fails as criticism of the series.

I had a dream last night that Nigel Farage was standing at a lecturn beside the god emperor in the White house garden, after the Donald welcomed the "New PM of Great Britain" Farage waffled on about the great links between the two countries blah blah and then said a trade deal would mean we could sell the Yanks our great British cuisine like Fish & chips, Spotted Dick and Bangers & Mash. Then Piers Morgan came along with a slide show to explain just what Bangers & Mash was whilst Oprah WInfrey (who looked nothing like Oprah Winfrey btw) suddenly turned up as the real president instead of the Donald and promptly had Piers Morgan arrested and Nigel Farage was told to take his British cuisine and return to merry 'ol England.

I did eat some cheese on toast for supper but I still think I might be going a bit mad. :?
